Would those of you who know something of medicinal herbs please
cast an eye on http://tinypic.com/1r509n5u
and help me identify some herbs that lost their labels?

You mean xherb1? Unless I'm forgetting something, the only nettles that
I germinated were the milk thistle and stinging nettle and it's neither
of those.

Best bet may be a trip to your local herb folks with leaves in hand.

If this is more than 25 miles unless you reason to be in the area forget
about these folks.

first one looks like a goldenrod, the second looks like it
might be bergamot (bee balm) & the third looks a bit like
either boneset or Joe Pye Weed. no idea on the last one
though.

Last night while sitting in my chair
I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.

I think your right. I have two golden rods in the ground but they
haven't flowered yet. Bergamot, a.k.a. Monarda didyma L., looks right
and that helped me identify Melissa officinalis, the other bee balm.
I can't thank you enough.
